      Pros

      Tyco has a history of executing some of the most complex business transactions so it gives you the opportunity to learn in a real world environment. During my time with the company I have executed two spinoffs, shared service creation in US and LATAM as part of finance transformation, two headquarter moves (Bermuda to Switzerland to no Ireland) and now an inversion merger.

      Cons

      Due to the fast pace at Tyco often the details of executing management vision falls through the cracks; this is especially the case in the HR function so often you are on your own in navigating bad managers and career progression decisions. I do not view this as a major con but it may be a deal breaker for some so I am mentioning it. At Tyco you definitely have to be a self-starter who can manage your own career with little structured help or processes similar to companies like Johnson & Johnson or GE.

      Pros

      Johnson Controls is made for two types of people: 1. People who are from the Midwest or specifically Milwaukee and want to stay there. The company has the same benefits most large companies in the area have and the pay is decent. You can join and just coast for as long as you want. 2. People who play the conservative political game hard. Want to climb the corporate ladder? Don't care what you have to do to get there? JCI is the place for you. It's conservative, it's incredibly political so come play the game.

      Cons

      JCI is not looking to be competitive with benefits cause they really don't have to. Consider 10 days of vacation generous. The bad to good people ratio is way off for a company this size. There are good people, but you gotta work to find them. It's a huge company, that is rather volatile, incredibly conservative, especially for millennials, and really they're just cost cutting to make money at this point.
